Sideshow and Infinity Studio have opened pre-orders for a DC-licensed, 1:1 Knightmare Batman silicone life-size bust, available now for $4,700 and expected to ship between November 2026 and April 2027.
The piece stands 40.2 inches tall (102 cm) and reproduces Zack Snyder’s Knightmare Batman in full scale. It is made with platinum silicone skin and individually implanted high-temperature silk hair. The bust comes dressed in a real-fabric trench coat and scarf, with textured hand bandages and hand-painted armor that carries layered weathering to reflect prolonged desert erosion and combat damage.
Accuracy extends to accessories: the sculpt holds a tactical telescope in Batman’s right hand and his helmet in the left, and it wears sand-dusted goggles. The figure sits on a diorama-style base inspired by Darkseid’s silhouette in the wasteland; the base is powered by LED lights and makes the bust’s waist glow orange and red when lit.
The launch is officially licensed by DC Comics and marketed as part of the broader Justice League and Batman merchandise available from Sideshow. The company bills the bust as a 1:1 scale, silicone life-size representation of the Knightmare incarnation first seen in visions in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and expanded in Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
That lineage matters to collectors: Knightmare Batman was introduced in 2016 through visions in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and received wider treatment in 2021 in Zack Snyder’s Justice League. The Knightmare timeline depicts a dystopian future ruled by Darkseid in which Superman has fallen under the influence of the Anti-Life Equation, and the Knightmare incarnation is widely described as one of the darkest live-action versions of Batman.
The friction in the release is plain. At $4,700 and with a shipping window that stretches from November 2026 to April 2027, the bust arrives as a high-end, long-lead collectible. That price and wait will separate casual fans from serious collectors. Still, the combination of full-scale dimensions, platinum silicone, individually implanted hair and the LED-powered diorama base aims squarely at buyers who chase museum-quality accuracy rather than mass-market figures.
For the market, the question is simple and answerable now: will the bust matter beyond a headline? Yes. For deep-pocketed collectors and fans of Zack Snyder’s vision, this is a statement piece that turns a film sequence into a physical centerpiece. Pre-orders are open; the clock now runs on a delivery window that will test patience but promises a level of fidelity rare at this scale.
